Fjørå Singletrack Camp

This weekend, we and a gang of local riders, arranged our second singletrack camp at our local singletracks by the fjord. Real "topptur" riding; some car shuttling, hiking 300-600m vertical meters and then a decent on bike between 600-1100 vertical meter in steep and technical terrain, with awesome fjord view.. just a normal day for us locals though... smiley

The weekend went great, awesome riding, thrilled riders, barbecue party, music and just lots of fun... Saturday evening, with the full moon spreading glitter all over the fjord in front of us, we showed the riders own shots from the day outside on a rustic boathaous wall... the mood was so perfect, it could almost bring out a tear...smiley

In the ending we gave out some really nice prizes from sponsors for good shots, good effort, and even a bonus for a group of three riders that made one wrong turn and got yelled at of a local farmer...

Update from one of our guests..: ".. fjords in the background, fiddlers in bunad playing in the background, blond cow girls milkin fresh organic milk straight outa freeridin eco mountain cows and german campers smilin and throwin smuggled bratwurst and beer parties for bikers and snow coverd mountain peaks and glaciers hangin above the fjord and total bluebird and giant blueberries all over the place and singletracks paved with nothin but golden brown dirt. Just another ordinary day of ridin at the North West Shore of Norwegian mountainbiking, no wonder I get carried away." (- Not sure what those blueberries contained, but it sure seems like he had fun though...haha!)

Well.. don't ask me.. I was sure we had enough space on the tracks for all riders... blueberries..? Photo: Håvard Melbø

Can't say I've experienced so many happy faces at one time as in this weekend. It for sure feels great to contribute to make a riders day (weekend). It's our second event, and since last year the amount of participants was doubled. It seems already like we have to make an official limit of how many riders we can invite next year to our grass root event...

More shots, check out our gallary, and Norways stash minister, who contributed with free Rock'n Roll Lubricate bike wash for our guests (big hug!), even made a great film...
